'n Gesellige wegbreek, afgesonder in die bos, maar ry-afstand na die strand!

A cozy getaway, secluded in the woods but driving distance to the beach!
Everything you need and more! Perfect location where family and friends build memories around the fire! Board games and building puzzles together when it rains, or that romantic getaway, with a lovely double bed in front of the indoor barbecue, and the open air bath! We even rode the bikes to the tennis court, and enjoyed a game of tennis! The owls that greet you early in the morning are the highlight!

Had a great time with my wife and 2 sons. The place was definitely not cleaned decently ahead of time, some examples: 1) The outdoor bathroom still had tampons in the trash 2) Toilet paper was moldy 3) Lots of cobwebs in the bathroom 4) The floors in the 2 bedrooms incredibly dirty. 5) The glasses and kitchen plates and cups not washed at all. 6) Cobwebs on bookshelves. The cleanliness of the place was shocking. Was very happy about the environment and beach. Will not recommend Pondokkie to my friends. R900 a night is also too much, R750 per night is a more reasonable price.

A bit disappointing.
Further away from beach than expected. House without real fridge or freezer for week's stay did not work so well. The house itself was dirty or at least full of cobwebs and spiders and small cockroaches. We sprayed many cans of doom and removed cobwebs. The benches were moved and cleaned a long time ago. About 7 large rain spiders removed from house and bathroom. Toilet is not in the house and the toilet itself is almost on the ground. When you shower in the bathroom, the entire floor gets wet and everything smells like urine for some reason. Outside shower is okay but people can see through the slats. So not recommended if someone stays in another house because they then drive past the shower or if they go for a walk. With children, all the cobwebs and spiders in the house were not such a pleasant experience. Children were too scared to go to sleep. So my wife started removing all cobwebs in the house herself. The bedding and towels were clean. I suggest they remove the table cloth and wipe under it as well and under the couch but watch out for what's going to crawl out. The bathroom definitely needs something done. Children enjoyed catching and releasing tadpoles at small pond. Saw turtles, kid, rabbits, birds, cat, snake and frogs. Although R1 000 per night was not bad, it could have been cleaner inside and at least all the cobwebs had been removed. Tell the people that the bathroom is outside and that the light in the bathroom is not working. And show or say that the toilet is very low. Not going to work for old people or people who won't be able to bend that low. The photos look nice because they are well photographed and make everything look bigger and it looks very clean. There is no bed in the lounge area. Unfortunately, we will not want to stay at Pandokkie again. Every person is different and at least according to reviews the other people did enjoy it so that's good.

Standard Eco-friendly Cottage- Pondokkie 's response
Dankie vir jou eerlike teugvoer, dit help ons om ons produk te verbeter.
Ek reageer graag as volg, ons het intussen daadwerklik ogetree om jou klagtes aan te spreek.
Die hele badkamer is oorgedoen met nuwe teels en toilet en die waterlek is reggemaak.
Ons het die sitkamer banke met nuwes vervang en ook 'n kamp yskassie toegevoeg, solar vriendelik, by die groot koelboks.
Ons het ook weer 'n bedjie in die sitkamer gesit en die skoonmaakspan uitgebrei om seker te maak die spinnerakke word verwyder. Aan die reen spinnekoppe kan ons ongelukkig nie veel doen nie; Pondokkie is 'n eko-huisie in die bos en hul bly in die bos, kan jul maar net verseker hulle is skadeloos.
